So, the surgery went well. They had to "clean up" a lot of damage in the joint. It took about 2 1/2 hours, they did it arthroscopicaly (with a little camera) so the recovery will go much more quickly. We have a cool wrap for his shoulder that circulates ice water. Dr Nakken told us that we can expect the joint to be stiff for about 1 year. We follow up at his office in 2 weeks.
Dave is taking Lortab. Those of you that know him know that he gets all lovey and cuddly when he has had a few drinks; the lortab seems to have the same effect on him. He keeps telling me how very much he loves me and the remote control, and Pepsi. I have been trying to make sure he is okay,going to school and work and trying to fit homework in there as well. He is still sort of groggy from the anesthesia and doesn't have much of an appetite for anything except the beloved Pepsi.
